New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Folkestone and Hythe will include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of Broadmead, Cheriton, East Folkestone, Folkestone Central, Folkestone Harbour, Hythe, Hythe Rural, New Romney, Romney Marsh, Sandgate & West Folkestone, Walland & Denge Marsh.
The electorate will be reduced to bring it within the permitted range by transferring out the North Downs area in the north (North Downs East and North Downs West wards), along with the parts in the Borough of Ashford (Saxon Shore ward), primarily to the reconfigured constituency of Ashford.
A British Energy report into the suitability of its eight UK sites as possible locations for next-generation nuclear plants has said that for Dungeness to be a suitable location there would have to be re-positioning and new sea defences. British Energy named its sites at Dungeness on Romney Marsh, Sizewell in Suffolk, Hinkley in Somerset and Bradwell in Essex as the most likely places for new reactors.
Today two Folkestone projects have gone head-to-head for a "People's Millions" award on ITV regional news. The voting numbers have now been announced for the two projects, with voting closing at midnight.
